This is a fairly basic demonstration of what you can do with the Firefly III API.

Introduction

This is a web-app, built on Laravel. It requires PHP 8.0. It can help you get an overview of the costs associated with a specific thing, such as your car, your pets or hobbies. It does this by collecting the tags associated with these things and group them according to the type of expense.

How it works

In your Firefly III installation, tag every product related expense with the product-SUBJECT-TYPE tag. For SUBJECT, you fill in the thing you wish to track. Use "car" for example. For TYPE, you fill in whatever the kind of cost is. Here are some examples:

• product-car-initial-purchase
• product-car-repairs
• product-car-maintenance
• product-car-gas

Or maybe:

• product-washing-machine-initial-purchase
• product-washing-machine-soap

The tool will give you an overview of each subject: for initial-purchase, repairs and the others the expenses will be listed. Also present is the amount spent per month.

Initial purchase

Make sure you tag one withdrawal with product-SUBJECT-initial-purchase.

Installation

Download or clone the source, run composer install. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the APP_KEY (32 chars) and Firefly III API data. Visit your web browser.
